# What's New: Suggest Number Series with Copilot  (2024 release wave 2)

> Suggest Number Series with Copilot in Business Central (2024 release wave 2) is demoed for generating number series for a record, a module, or a whole new company, and for preparing existing series for the next year. The demo covers prompt guides, year numbers in series, and automatic updates to setup pages.

[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpDKjl7zzdk) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2024-10-08 · 9:00 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

The video, published 2024-10-08, shows how Copilot in Business Central can generate new number series, modify existing ones, or prepare them for the next year. This reduces the manual work needed during a new implementation, recurring maintenance, or rollout of a new module or company.

The demo starts with a service management module rollout and generates a series for the contract credit memo. It then prepares existing series for the next year and generates a complete set of series for a new company with the user experience set to premium. The presenter warns that AI generated content might be incorrect and that wrong suggestions may need to be deleted by hand.

## Key points

- Copilot can generate or modify number series for a specific record, a module, or an entire company, using a customizable prompt.
- The number series dialog includes prompt guides for common tasks: creating series for a new company, preparing series for the next year, and modifying existing series.
- Prompts can add requirements. In the demo, the prompt explicitly asked for the last two digits of the year (24), and the generated series included it.
- When a suggested series is kept, Copilot also updates the related setup page, for example service management setup.
- In the next-year demo, Copilot created an additional number series line with a starting date of 1 January 2025, following the same pattern as the original series.
- For a new company, the scope of generated series follows the user experience setting. A premium company gets series for all modules.
- AI generated content might be incorrect. In the demo, Copilot also suggested a sales credit memo series that was not requested, and the presenter deleted it before keeping the suggestion.
